Bonilla is one of the most physical players in the 2024 class in the country, and that was evident at the Dawgs Scout Day. With an imposing 6-foot-4, 230-pound frame, he looks to do damage at the dish. He worked in the air up the middle and to his backside gap, reaching a max exit velocity of 104 mph. All 18 of his batted balls were 91+ mph off the bat, and 8 of them were north of 101 mph. The Missouri State commit and Canadian JNT member was one of the most feared hitters in Alberta last year, and he will look to do much of the same this coming season.

Bonilla was one of the most feared hitters at the dish all week in the middle of the loaded Okotoks lineup, and it was more of the same the last 2 days of the tournament. Several base hits for Bonilla, but none was bigger than the no-doubt solo shot he hit in the semi-final game to help Okotoks beat the North Shore Twins. Already has a pro looking frame, Bonilla is as physical as they come for a high-school player and the ball was jumping off the wood bat with ease. The Missouri State commit raised his stock after his eye-popping performance all week in Kamloops.

‘24 two-way Bonilla (Missouri State) was a dangerous bat in the middle of the Okotoks lineup over the past couple of days. Strength and size in the box at 6-foot-3, 230-pounds, Bonilla doesn’t get cheated at the dish, swinging with intent to do damage every time. Hunted fastballs and rarley missed them, Bonilla collected several loud hits, including a HR off the top of the wall in LF against the PBR Canada Selects in a tight game. Bonilla has no doubt been one of the main attractions here in Kamloops and is one of the top players in the country.

2024 RHP/INF Benito Bonilla recently committed to Missouri State and headed into Kamloops with plenty of buzz following his first appearance with the Junior National Team. Played first base against Delta and swung the bat with authority, finding the barrel twice throughout the game with one base knock. Sheer size from the right-side of the dish at 6-foot-4, 232-pounds and the ball was jumping off his bat. Impressive start to the week at the dish for Bonilla and should garner plenty of attention whenever he takes the mound over the next couple days.
